Angel Spinoff

Found this and didn't find a thread to post it in, so I figured I'd start a topic about it.

Acker: 'Angel' Spin-Offs Definitely Not Happening

Former "Angel" cast member talks about spin-off movies and the plan for
season six.

(May 15 2006) - When "Angel" was cancelled after its fifth season, the show
ended with a cliff-hanger as Team Angel prepared to go head to head with a
massive hoard of demons in an epic confrontation. Since then, however, there
have been rumors of a revival for the series -- stories of a possible sixth
season, a tele-movie and there has also the idea of other spin-off projects.
But nothing has been confirmed as getting the go ahead. Well, speaking to
fans in London this weekend (including SyFy Portal's Alan Stanley Blair),
actress Amy Acker shed some light on the status of the proposed project.
"I think its safe to say that's not happening anymore," Acker told fans at
the Starfury event, "'cause if they were, they'd be getting done right now.
There was supposed to be three of them -- one for Spike, a Faith one and
also one for Willow. I think it's safe to say that now because its not going
to happen."
But unlike many other shows that bite the dust, interest in the resurrection
was not the problem as thanks to the various websites and the Save Angel
campaign, the show proved it had a loyal following. Instead, Acker said, the
projects never took off because "Fox couldn't get it together the way Joss
wanted to do them."
Although Acker didn't go into details about the difference in approaches
between Fox and Whedon, the actress did give away some vital information as
to what the plot could have been had they gone ahead or had there been a
sixth season.
"I think it's okay to say this now, since its not happening, but I think J
(who plays Charles Gunn) was to be evil in it." she said. "He was to become
a vampire really early on in this really big battle."
Actor J August Richards, who was also at the event, quickly confirmed that
was the direction he always pictured character going.
"I'd probably have him come back as a vampire and then kill himself." Added
Richards. "That's always how I wanted it to end for my character." - Article

I was at this... that's not exactly what J said, but they have Amy quoted right. J said *before* Amy mentioned it that he would always have liked Gunn to become a vampire and then kill himself, and then Amy said "Joss told me that if we did a movie, they were going to have you be the villain..." J clearly didn't know anything about this, because he said "Really?!" and Amy said "Yeah, I think you were going to become a vampire or something."

J thought that sounded very cool

I miss angel- I would have loved ot seen a spin off or a movie to end it. I could see the who "gun turns vamp and has to kill himself in the end or something" I LOVED spike so i would have loved ot have seen more of him, I just really got back into it the last season the 4th season i didn't care for but the first andf th last were really good. Well maybe some day! Buffy and Angel were such good shoes soooo different then your usual tv teen and tween and 20 something dramas i miss that in my life

A buffy Angel movie would have been cool, I think if they made one now even it would do well...didn't the Bradie Bunch do that at one point?

I don't know, but after all these years I've still been yearning to see something new from the Buffy and Angel verse.

I'd read some time ago they were thinking of making four tele-movies, with one of them devoted to Illyria
